Chapter 258: Ancient Notes, the Decision of Truth Company
The headquarters of Truth Company is actually not the "Truth Building" that stands almost reaching the sky in the city that never sleeps.
Although that thing is the most iconic building of Truth Company, the "Truth Building" is indeed just a logo.
It is the business card of Truth Company within the City That Never Sleeps, the "palace" and reception office of Truth Company's decision-makers, but it is not the headquarters of Truth Company.
How could the core of a new giant that started with "high-end alchemy" be a building?
Whether it's the "fear" collection system in the snowy mountains that created the monster "Chat," or the "furnace" currently placed on the Despair Train, they all speak volumes about one thing...
These things are so big that they can't fit into a building.
What's more, these are finished products. The initial prototypes and the test sites where they are stored will only be even more massive.
This is only considering the volume, without taking into account factors such as raw material transportation and noise pollution.
and so……
The headquarters of Truth Company has always been located in the northern part of the City That Never Sleeps, close to the city border, or in fact, part of it is even outside the city, right next to the wilderness!
There, there is a huge park that covers an area almost as large as one-fourth of the main urban area of the City That Never Sleeps, a place that can be called a city within a city.
That is the headquarters of Truth Company!
At this moment, Lin Yu and Baron Coleman were standing at the gate of the headquarters.
Looking at those high-tech buildings and the people coming and going, standing in front of the tall white streamlined gate, Lin Yu sighed.
"This place is quite impressive...but why is it so big?"
"Where did this 'Reed Christopher' you mentioned die?"
Lin Yu thought that he would only enter a secret room and see the deceased and the murder scene!
He looked at Baron Coleman standing beside him, only to see that he also had an expression as if he had seen a ghost.
"Yeah...why is it so big?!"
Baron Coleman said this, and then his doubtful tone confirmed what Lin Yu had just said.
"Logically, we should only have entered the crime scene—my memories and the file are simply not enough to construct such a large scene."
"No, even with all my memories... this place is too vivid."
Baron Coleman said this, scratching his head.
Lin Yu looked at the other party: "So why did this happen? Do you have any clues?"
Coleman thought for a moment and offered a reasonable analysis: "I think it might be because this is a 'prototype'..."
"In fact, within the entire Truth Company, there are only a handful of people who have come into contact with the [Ancient Notes], especially since it has been 'lost' for a long time."
"But how do I know how to use this thing...? Because the 'Universal Recording Paper', which was developed based on the 'Ancient Notebook', is quite common within the Truth Company."
"The 'Universal Recording Paper' has the function of storing and reproducing 'memories'... However, both its storage and reproduction capabilities are 'limited'."
"Storing a few seconds of memory and recreating the scene in a room is already the limit."
"Even within a limited space and time, there will be significant distortion."
Baron Coleman looked up and took in the entire Truth Company headquarters again.
"But it seems that the real [Ancient Notes] is much more useful than the 'Universal Recording Paper'!"
Baron Coleman said this, having completely recovered from his shock.
After all, Baron Coleman is a man who can climb to the top of Truth Company step by step on his own. His psychological quality and endurance are not ordinary strong, and his mentality is not ordinary good.
He was not at all thrown off by this unexpected grand scene.
"Come on, we're going to the 'room' where the crime happened."
"Such a grand and realistic scene... I feel the possibility of restoring the truth is getting higher and higher!"
As he spoke, Coleman took Lin Yu towards the gate.
……
While Lin Yu and Coleman's consciousness was exploring the headquarters of Truth Company in the [Ancient Notes], their bodies were safe and sound under the protection of Li Nian and the Sentinel.
The despair train sped along the tracks, circling the brightly lit city that never sleeps.
At the same time, on the north side of the Despair Train track, the headquarters park of Truth Company in reality.
In the deepest part of the park, it is located in a two-story building in a quiet and peaceful garden.
An elegant man in a bright orange suit and slicked-back hair sat in his office, watching the projection screen opposite his desk.
What was being played was the blurry image of the interior of Car No. 1 of the "Despair Train".
"Punkt von Valetti has returned to normal, Jerry Coleman Hunter has emerged from his life support tank, and the vanished Will Valetti ID card and ancient notebooks have all reappeared. Furthermore, Dot's legacy has fallen into the hands of a mysterious woman outside the company."
The man muttered to himself as he slowly picked up an orange from the fruit bowl on the table.
"And that mysterious, unidentified 'detective' gets involved too. That remaining woman isn't a simple character either... Ha, this is really interesting."
He put the unpeeled, whole, round orange to his mouth and took a big bite of it, including the skin and flesh.
He tore off the orange peel mixed with the flesh, and the juice filled his mouth.
Orange juice dripped from the corners of his mouth and wrists, but the man seemed unaware of it. After thinking for a moment, he pressed the bell on the table.
"Ding dong!"
The crisp sound echoed in the office, and soon the office door opened.
Two armed men, dressed in tactical equipment, with helmets on their heads and various weapons hanging all over their bodies, walked in and stood still.
The man on the left stepped forward and said, "Today's Security Department's regular duty team is Team Delta. Please give your orders."
The man took another bite of the orange, raised his chin, and motioned the other party to look at the projection behind him.
The two armed men turned and looked, then turned away.
"An unknown offender has appeared inside the Despair Train. Do we need to go in and subdue the offender and bring him back for questioning?"
The armed team member on the left asked again.
"Of course I have to deal with it," the man swallowed the orange and wiped his mouth with the sleeve of his expensive-looking suit, "but... you don't have to bring it back."
A cruel smile appeared on his face.
"Execute him on the spot."
The two armed men received the order and straightened up.
"Yes, Mr. Paris!"
Then the two turned and left.
